Thin Lizzy :: Live at Sydney Opera House, 10/78.

From the Youtbue Page:

“In October of 1978 more than 26,000 screaming fan packed the Sydney Opera House in Australia for an unforgettable concert. Thin Lizzy's lineup for this show was Phil Lynott (Vocals/bass), Gary Moore (Guitars), Scott Gorham (Guitars) and Mark Nauseef (Drums).”

Again, no setlist for this one, though I imagine is out there somewhere. Please let me know if you find it.

Wordless Flight Emerges

oj1Rn6EO.jpeg

Caleb Nei bills himself as: “Washington DC Area Event & Cocktail Pianist,” usually playing “about 180 jazz dates each year throughout Virginia and Washington DC.”

Nei’s newest project Wordless Flight. “Emergence,” Nei’s first release under the new moniker is a collection of improvisations “Recorded on a felted upright piano, a Mason & Hamlin reed organ, and a collection of analog synths.” Nei says that “Emergence” is the first of several releases in this vein, with lots more music already recorded.

“Recorded in the early-morning hours before the family wakes,” Nei’s improvisations are meditative pieces walking the border between minimalism, new age age, and contemporary classical.

Opening track “Another Morning” is representative of the rest of the album in all of the good ways. Interesting melodies over ambient background noise unfolding and swirling up and around to greet the day before folding back into itself.

“Murmur” propels these themes forward, while “1997” begins to push into Ambient territory and “Landscape From A Bus” pulses with an Ambient loop and “Moored Boats” makes you wonder if this wasn’t an electronic album the whole time.

This is music created with the sun rise to fill your while day.

No one could have predicted a year like 2020. The live music industry is on life support. Bandcamp came through just about better than anyone else to support music. And there was a ton of great music released this year.

So, after lots of thought and list-shuffling and winnowing, these are the 75 albums that really stood out for me. My original list was quite a bit longer (and you can always keep up in real-time by following the Yearly Bookkeeping page), so I can tell you that this list provides a great overview of my music listening for this crazy year.

James Brown Monterey California 1979

s-l1600.jpg

From the Youtube page:

[NOTE: The "Body Heat" DVD - released in 1989 - is the exact same thing as the VHS tape entitled "The Lost James Brown Tapes." In fact, the company that released this DVD didn't even bother to re-do the titles sequence--it still reads "Lost James Brown Tapes." The good news is that, even though the picture quality is only marginally improved from the VHS version, the sound quality is markedly better. AND, I'm not sure whether THIS video came from the VHS or DVD version.]

  1. The Godfather of Soul

  2. Hardest Working Man In Show Business
